Famed stoner comedian and cannabis activist Tommy Chong took the stage mid-way through the two-hour event, causing the haze of marijuana smoke to thicken.

“All marijuana use is medical use,” he said, drawing cheers as he spoke on the pro-legalization changes he’s seen across the country. “What we’re having here today is a celebration of the freedom of the greatest plant known to man.”

A foot-long joint about an inch thick was lit and eventually passed Chong’s way; he took a hit as he exited the stage. The young man who lit the joint didn’t have the chance to witness the puff, though, as he’d pulled his hoodie over his face and was holding his forehead, apparently overcome by the pot.

A couple of times during the series of speeches, crowd members waved security over to help people who weren’t feeling well. The mass of people filled the rectangle in front of the U-M Diag, spilling out for hundreds of feet. Some people blew bubbles while others sold food or danced in a drum circle.
